The integration of psychology and theology is often sought as a layering of intellectual abstractions from biblical and psychological sources. Though scriptural and scientific data may partially define the reality of God and human psychology, the Truth is an embodied act, God made incarnate among us as Christ. The common ground for integration of psychology and theology must then be this ground of being, the incarnate presence of Jesus Christ among us. The basis for integration is derived theologically from the relational nature of and God and the ongoing revelation of Christ to humankind through incarnational presence (i.e., social theology) and psychologically from the preeminence of relationships in shaping human development, well-being, and psychological distress (i.e., interpersonal psychology). This paper reviews both traditions in turn before then discussing the incarnation of Christ as the ground of being for their integration. Incarnational relational enactment is proposed to characterize the transformative presence of Christ in the healing work of a therapeutic relationship. This process is described as immediate, personal, unconditional, and dialectical, ultimately leading to a literal renewing of the mind.

心理学和神学的融合通常被认为是从圣经和心理学的角度对知识的抽象化的层次。尽管圣经和科学数据可能部分地定义了上帝和人类心理的现实，但真理是一种体现的行为，上帝使我们身为基督化身。因此，心理学和神学融合的共同基础必须是这样的存在基础，即耶稣基督在我们中间的化身。融合的基础从神学上是从与上帝的关系本质上以及基督通过不存在的存在（即社会神学）对人类的不断启示而获得的，而在心理上则源于在塑造人类发展，福祉和心理困扰方面的卓越关系。 （即人际关系心理学）。本文依次回顾了这两种传统，然后讨论了基督化身为它们融合的基础。提出了肉体化的关系制定法，以表征基督在治疗性关系的治疗工作中的变革存在。这个过程被描述为立即的，个人的，无条件的和辩证的，最终导致思想的字面更新。
